Lyrics

Intro

Verse

C Shed a tear, 'cause I'm missing you
G But I'm... still alright to smile
AD Girl, I think about you every day now
There was a time when I wasn't sure
But you... set my mind at ease
There is no doubt you're in my heart now

Chorus

CG Sad woman, take it slow
CEm It'll work itself out fine
CGD All we need is just a little patience
Sad sugar, make it slow
And we'll come together fine
All we need is just a little patience
Sit here on the stairs
'Cause I'd rather be alone
If I can't have you right now, I'll wait, dear
Sometimes, I get so tense
But I can't speed up the time
You know love, there's one more thing to consider
Sad woman, take it slow
Things will be just fine
You and I'll just use a little patience
Sad sugar, take the time
'Cause the lights are burning bright
You and I've got what it takes to make it
...We won't fake it
...Oh, we'll never break it
...'Cause I can't take it

Solo

Ending

D ... G ... D ... G ... (repeat, build up)DG A little patience... yeah...
We need a little patience... yeah
Just a little patience... yeah
Some more patience... yeah
D I've been walking the streets at night
G Just trying to get it right
D It's hard to see with so many around
G You know I don't like being stuck in the crowd
D And the streets don't change, but baby the name
G I ain't got time for the games
DG 'Cause I need you, yeah I need you
FG Ahh, I need you... ohh, I need you
DGD(let ring) All the time.......

Adding a riff to the D chord

Throughout this song, this simple riff is thrown in with the D chord occasionally. You're simply removing your finger (or adding a finger) to the high E string -- listen along to the song for reference.

On the final "I need you" note the switch to F...

About

My name is David Potsiadlo, and I created Songnotes to share my collection of guitar tabs, chords, and lyrics for my favorite songs.

Since I started playing guitar over 10 years ago, I've often been frustrated by the preponderance of mediocre and incomplete song tabs littered across the internet. To combat this, I started keeping my own collection of notes for each song I learn -- always taking the extra time to make sure accuracy and completeness are never compromised. Years later, my collection grew to the point where I knew I had to share it online with fellow aspiring musicians.

In December 2012, I began designing & developing a website that became Songnotes. Here, I share my personal collection of hand-crafted music notation with all those online. I hope you enjoy.
